Title: Sugar Spiced Walnuts

1/2 C powdered sugar
2 t ground allspice
2 t ground cardamom
2 t ground cinnamon
2 t ground cloves
2 t ground ginger
2 t ground nutmeg
1/4 t cayenne
1/4 t salt
1 T canola oil
1/3 C sugar
3/4 C apple juice
3 C walnuts, coarsely chopped

Place the powdered sugar in a medium bowl and set aside.

Combine the allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, cayenne, and salt in a small bowl.

Heat the canola oil over high heat for about 1 minute. Add the sugar and stir until hot and bubbly. Pour in the apple juice and stir constantly for about 1 minute, until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Quickly stir in the walnuts and continue stirring over high heat until all the liquid evaporates and the mixture becomes sticky and shiny. Cook for 1-2 minutes longer until all the liquid is absorbed.

Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture and toss to caot the walnuts, stirring for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and add the remaining spice mixture, tossing continuously.

Pour the spiced walnuts into the bowl with the powdered sugar and toss to give them a white dusting. Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a large dish or baking sheet to cool completely. Stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
